CULTURAL FACILITIES FOR THE FUTURE*

*Does your organization have facility needs?
Are you an artist/independent creator living and working in Vancouver?*
*
Please help us understand and plan for arts and culture places and 
spaces in Vancouver.

> From November 2007 to May 2008, the City is undertaking a cultural 
facility study working with Artscape Consultants out of Toronto. This 
study is intended to deliver a “Facilities Priorities Plan” that 
articulates cultural place and space priorities for the next 15 years, 
as well as strategies for how the City, working with community, 
government and private partners, can realize those priorities. The 
Cultural Facilities Priorities Plan ties into the larger Creative City 
Conversation and 2008-2018 Culture Plan. The Facilities Priorities Plan 
will be a key aspect of the Culture Plan implementation.

ARTS AND CULTURE SPACE DEMAND SURVEYS
Running through to the middle of February 2008, Artscape is surveying 
arts and cultural organizations / businesses and individual artists / 
creators to assess current and future space demands. Please consider 
completing one of the two surveys below. It should take approximately 
15-20 minutes to complete.
